Safe & Secure Shopping
SSL certificate
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a
Web site to visiting browsers and encrypts information for the server via
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
A certificate serves as an electronic “passport” that establishes an online
entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet
user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the
user’s browser will access the server’s digital certificate and establish a
secure connection.

The SSL Certificate ensures safe, easy and convenient
Internet shopping. Once an Internet user enters a secure area – where,
for example, credit card information, e-mail address or other personal data
is collected – the shopping site’s SSL certificate enables the browser and
Web server to build a secure, encrypted connection. The SSL “handshake”
process, which establishes the secure session, takes place discreetly
behind the scenes, ensuring an uninterrupted shopping experience for the
consumer. A “padlock” icon in the browser’s status bar and the “https://”
prefix in the URL are the only visible indications of a secure session in
progress. (Premium Extended Validation Certificates also display a green
address bar color when displaying a secured page.).
Phishing and Pharming —
How SSL Can Help
Phishing and, recently, pharming pose constant threats to Internet
users whose sensitive information is under siege by crackers and
other cyber crooks.
An SSL certificate can clip the wings of Internet criminals and help prevent Internet users from being victimized by
phishing and pharming schemes when attempting to visit your Web site.
Phishing schemes – attempts to steal and exploit sensitive personal
information – typically try to trick victims into accessing fraudulent
sites that pose as legitimate, trusted entities, such as online businesses
and banks.
Because perpetrators of such attacks will be using and registering
domains that resemble those of the spoofed sites through
its stringent fraud-prevention measures, will detect the schemes and deny
certificate requests for suspicious domains.
